Senior Media Buyer (Meta + Google) - DTC Brand, Ongoing Contract

We're a growing DTC brand looking for a Senior Media Buyer to own paid acquisition across Meta and Google Ads. This is not an entry-level or "managed campaigns before" role - we need someone who has actually run significant ad spend, knows how to read data past surface-level ROAS, and can make independent strategic calls without hand-holding. What you'll own: - Full-funnel media buying across Meta Ads and Google Ads (Search, Shopping, Performance Max) - Campaign structure, budget allocation, and scaling decisions - Creative testing strategy (working alongside our creative team - you tell us what to test, not just what ran) - Daily/weekly performance analysis and optimization - Reporting on CAC, ROAS, LTV impact - not just platform-reported metrics Requirements: - Minimum 3+ years current, hands-on media buying experience (not "familiar with" - actively running campaigns in 2025/2026) - Proven experience managing $[X]K+/month in ad spend - Deep knowledge of Meta Ads Manager (CBO, creative testing frameworks, audience strategy) and Google Ads (Search + PMax minimum) - Comfortable with attribution nuance - GA4, pixel/CAPI setup awareness, MMM basics a plus - Experience working inside ClickUp and Slack as daily tools - Must be willing to work on Hubstaff for time tracking - DTC/ecommerce experience required - agency-only or B2B lead-gen background is not a fit How to apply: Start your proposal with the words "PERFORMANCE MAX" so we know you read this. Include 2-3 specific examples of campaigns you've scaled, with real numbers (spend, CAC/ROAS trend, what you changed and why).
